Oracle Server X5-2 is designed from the ground up to be the best two-socket server for running Oracle Database in a clustered configuration and also for high-density virtualization environments that require an optimal balance between core density, memory footprint, and I/O bandwidth. With support for up to four high-bandwidth NVM Express (NVMe) flash drives, Oracle Database can be accelerated using Database Smart Flash Cache, a feature of Oracle Database. Each server comes with built-in, proactive fault detection, and advanced diagnostics, along with firmware that is already optimized for Oracle software, to deliver extreme reliability for enterprise workloads. Allowing for more than 1,500 cores and 34 TB of memory in a single rack, the compact 1U chassis provides 50 percent more cores and 50 percent more memory compared to the previous generation.
